Turn off location aiding or location data
Location aiding and location data, if available for your BlackBerry smartphone, improve the performance of GPS

avoid these charges, you can turn off location aiding or location data, but it might take longer for your smartphone
to get your GPS location. For more information about data service charges, contact your wireless service provider.
